mark_n of_o the_o divine_a displeasure_n who_o favour_n we_o have_v insure_v by_o take_v so_o great_a care_n and_o do_v such_o extraordinary_a thing_n for_o his_o honour_n and_o the_o preservation_n of_o his_o truth_n let_v not_o press_v man_n be_v compare_v to_o spiriting_n and_o kidnap_v nor_o imprison_a man_n so_o press_v in_o the_o round-house_n or_o goal_n nor_o force_a woman_n to_o attend_v

not_o to_o do_v lest_o it_o shall_v look_v like_o discontent_n or_o inconstancy_n though_o if_o the_o half_a of_o our_o present_a burden_n have_v be_v impose_v or_o threaten_v by_o the_o abdicated_a
